I Want To Pursue An MD/Phd Degree

I would like to pursue a combined MD/PhD degree because I want to work in both clinical and laboratory settings studying the mechanisms of disease. My ideal path would be acquiring an MD along with a doctorate in the neurosciences, but I am also interested in biochemistry and pathology as well as a few others. I believe the experience gained obtaining a dual degree would increase my understanding in whichever specialty I choose and build skills related to research like obtaining grants and writing papers for publication. My interest in this program started around the end of my sophomore year. By then, I had been working in research for about two semesters, and while the work was not directly linked to medicine, medically based research had always attracted me more than chemistry or biochemistry. This attraction started before I was even in college.

Mark Twain once said, “The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you figure out why.” Personally, the second day came when I discovered the physician assistant profession and subsequently the Master of Physician Assistant program at MCPHS University. From then on all of my life experiences as an EMT, shadowing, and working have fervently inspired me to become the best possible physician assistant I can be.

I am interested in joining PhiDE because I am seeking a support system that I can relate to as I pursue my MD degree, a place where I can explore my passion for medicine besides taking science courses and an opportunity to make a difference in my community by contributing to PhiDE’s philanthropy. Since the start of college, I have always wanted to be part of a medical society. Applying to medical school is a tough process and I would like to have older and more experienced friends that can coach me through the process. PhiDE’s requirement that all students in the fraternity have to be pursuing an MD degree sets PhiDE apart from the other medical societies I have seen on campus. With PhiDE, I can be apart of a community of students that have

Chien-Kuang Ding, a current graduate student for MD-PhD degree to become a medical doctor and biomedical researcher in Duke University, Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology, Chi laboratory was interviewed on the phone call on November 9, 2016, at 4pm. On the phone called, Ms. Ding explained why her field of work is important in the U.S healthcare system and discussed the requirements for a biomedical scientist to a prospective clinical laboratory scientist in the future. Ms. Ding’s field of work is genomics and metabolism of cancers. She has to understand the basic molecular mechanism of how cancer propagates and react to the environment, such as our immune system, nutrient status, and the therapy. Her field of work is important

It was not any one incident that “clunked” me in the head that made me say that I wanted to become a physician assistant, but many incidences over time that guided me to make the decision to go into the medical profession of direct patient care. How does one know the significance of a moment before it is gone? Every single day we are met with different opportunities and challenges that no one can tell which one will lead to groundbreaking revelations. Was it a teacher who inspired me to become an Environmental Studies major in college? Or was it a wildlife commercial that made me daydream of saving the planet one polar bear at a time?

My ambition in life is to be a Physician Scientist, someone at the fore front of medical innovation particularly in the field of Neuroscience. An accelerated 7-year combined BS-MD program is an apt choice for my goals and ambitions. After having gone through almost two years in college and having taken part in various clinical and research experiences, I have lost any doubts others my age might have in my goal of being a physician in academic medicine in the future; with my lack of indecisiveness comes my decision to aim for the BS-MD program.

The prime condition of success ,the great secret ,is to concentrate my energy , thought ,and capital exclusively upon business in cancer .Having begun in research ,resolve to fight it out , to lead in it , adopt every improvement ,have the best machinery, and know the most about it .Two passions ,simple but overwhelmingly strong ,has governed my life : the search for knowledge and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.I have sought knowledge . I have wished to understand the causes of cancer . I have wished to know why people die . And I have tried to apprehend the breakthrough in cancer treatment written by Gleevec who discovered the approach was to target the disease at the cellular and subcellular level .A little of this ,but not much , I have achieved.I long to alleviate the pain of cancer . As the mathematician Jules Henri Poincare said, Science is built with facts just as a house is built with bricks .I would take approaches as many scientists do .Scientist start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about a particular problem.After known the facts have been gathered , the scientist come to the part of the investigation that requires considerable imagination . Possible problem are formulated. The scientists plans experiments,performs calculations,and makes observations to test hypotheses.When hypotheses are confirmed ,they are incorporated into theories. If I become a scientist

There was new research within the CIS designed to test innovative health, increase access to cancer-related information, discover effective models for cancer communication, and increase the understanding of information seeking behaviors.[6] The future of CIS Research Programs targeting that establishes partnerships with investigators to develop and implement collaborative research projects that will further the field of cancer

From scoring my first lab-coat at age five to winning a science fair contest at age nine to assessing the ecological health of the Bronx River at age sixteen, the sciences have always been my place to shine. In the past few years, I have grown particularly attracted to biomedical science because of its combination of both life science and humanism. My budding interest in pathology and clinical applications of science, as I discovered in my internship with Bronx-Westchester Area Health Education Center, has me to discover oncology. I am interested in becoming a cancer researcher, so I can perform innovative translational research that may assist cancer patients.

Health is the single most important attribute in our lives. Without heath, as a society, we could not achieve the accomplishments and scientific breakthroughs necessary to advance as a society. Many of the luxuries we enjoy today are due to being fortunate enough to be healthy, and understanding what it means to achieve good health. Health can also teach us empathy and compassion. When we witness someone who is ill, we learn to accommodate them and care for them. Health can ultimately unify us. Sports also play a unique role in our lives. Sports allow participants to gain camaraderie, and leadership while teaching us how to motivate ourselves to be better than those who are competing against us. These two things have helped me gain an interest in healthcare, mainly in becoming a sports medicine physician.

Describe why you would like to pursue a degree in Exercise and Movement Science in 500 words or less.

There are two things that I am passionate about: science and helping others. My dream is to get an MD-PhD. The dual degree will allow me to do research and helping people at the same time. I had the opportunity to visit Vietnam in the past, and I got to see what my country looks like. During the trip, I learned that the healthcare system in Vietnam is corrupted. If you have money, then the hospitals will take a good care of you, but if you are poor, you will be ignored and forgotten. This is situation my people face every day, and this motivated me to become a doctor. In the near future, I want to go back to my country from time to time to provide medical care for the poor who can’t afford proper treatments. I also want to participate in Doctors

Cancer is a major issue in our country today due to it having no cure, and it’s one of the leading causes of death in the U.S. I’ve been personally affected by this tragic disease by losing my uncle to colorectal cancer at the age of twelve. This disease has caused significant losses of life; therefore, it is my goal to join a team that has as its objective to finding a cure for cancer. Specifically, I will become a physician in order to become a part of the solution to cancer.

The year is 2086. You look down into the lens of your microscope and with shaky hands, dispense the last drop of the serum on the petri dish and victoriously smile because you have found the cure. After eighty years, you can finally declare that the last cancer cell is dead. Running upstairs to celebrate with your family, you find yourself calling out to a cold and empty house. Painful memories of the past flood your mind with the reality that your wife left after waiting thirty years for you to start a family together. Aside from the loneliness, it can be said that a scientist like you, with a firm belief in research, evidence, and result has lived quite a successful life.

e number of deaths from cancer continues to increase each year. Cancer is a disease has touched every family at least once. It is a disease that can kill you in a matter of years or months. There are several different types of cancer, some of which both men and women can be diagnosed with and some of which only one sex can actually be diagnosed with. Today researchers are finding more and more advances into what causes cancer. I myself am a cancer survivor and my treatment at the time in 1992 was considered experimental. My older brother who is now 32 years old was diagnosed with Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, when he was 2 years old; he too was a part of a research study that he is still participating in today. Cancer research is
